thanks guys, will pass on and keep looking for a suitable company.

I am writing this on behalf of my father, he has recently purchased a E class and thankfully his taste in cars is a lot better than his IT skills. His car currently has fitted pepper pot alloys which he is looking to refurb, he took them to one place who told him that all they could do was...

Olivier, Thanks a lot for your efforts, unfortunately this is obviously shows an earlier model and the door panel is not moulded or mounted the same. Thanks again

Can anyone give me a pointer on how to remove the n/s door card / panel on a 2003 E class. I presume that there are bolts located under the door handle panel (panel that holds electric window switch) but any assistance on how to remove this, as I don't want to cause damage, or indeed any other...

As usual the forum experts have provided the answer! Last night my near side door lock began to 'bounce', seeking guidance It appears to be a very common problem requiring the lock unit to be replaced (currently on order). Now for the advice side, whilst searching the forum the majority of...

This summer I plan to travel into France with the family. Having two children we are considering how much we need to take etc, etc. I have a universal roof box that I used on a freelander so it is a strong consideration that we might have to take that. My E270 has mounting points for roof...

Could anyone assist before I start exploring. Two days ago I topped my washer bottle up on my e270 cdi, this morning whilst the car was parked on a level road, I noticed a pool of water at the kerb side below the rear of the near side front wheel arch. As the vehicle had been standing for a...

Of course, if you know you need to be somewhere on time, you would set off in plenty of time, people would do. However the point that I was raising was that whilst discussing the fact that there would be no penalty for arriving late at work, and therefore this was not a excuse for speeding, the...

My brother in law was flashed going at a similar speed in Newcastle Upon Tyne (36mph in 30 zone) he also was given the option to attend a speed awareness course as opposed to the 3 points and £60 fine. On arrival at the course an open group discussion commenced about the need to speed, what...

Get the plastic top from a aerosol can, washing up liquid optional, distort cap by pushing into corner and drag down, the open end of the cap collects any silicone that is not required. works for me!

I went from a Subaru impreza to a e270 cdi (wife told me I had to grow up!) Mercedes is a different way of driving, yes the 270 is quick enough, but it is a nice place to be even in traffic. The Subaru was fun and the road holding spectacular, but after travelling over 10 miles your fillings...

Thanks for that dieselman, gives me a little confidence, i will update as and when. Hope it solves the problem.

Just to let you know, my vehicle was booked into the dealers today. They have had it all day initialy charging the battery (which I could have done overnight at home if they had let me know). Then another diagnostic check late this afternoon. They claim that the problem has been caused by a...

I dont believe that the battery was brand new however is showing 12.5 volts prior to starting and a charge of 14 volts when the engine is running. Sorry having been transformed into a Merc lover recently please excuse my ignorance! I presume command is the sat nav / digital computorised read...

Help, I have a e270 cdi '2003'. Some time ago I started to get a message in the speedo display along the lines of "convienience settings withheld due to battery condition" I considered that this was as a result of short trips and all the electric gizmo's, I also took into account, according to...

thanks all for your advice Regards ROBO

Hi all, can anyone assist and tell me if I would require any specialist tools, or caliper press's, etc, in order to replace the rear or front pads on a '52' 2002 E class 270cdi. Or indeed any useful tips (apart from 'take it to a garage!'). I would appreciate any info as I dont want to strip...

If anyone is interested. Just purchased a orbital polisher with 7 inch lambs wool bonnet and achieved same results as goldfish 11. The polisher was purchased from Netto (of all places - 'its scandanavian for value') for £19.99 complete with bonnet, and I located another outlet which sells the...
